Chris Ulrich broke his right collarbone when he crashed a Honda CBR954RR during a press intro being held today at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Ulrich said he highsided when he arrived at an infield corner with no front brakes–following a tankslapper exiting the previous corner–and attempted to slow the bike using the rear brake and downshifts.

Ulrich was at the press intro representing roadracingworld.com and Roadracing World.

He crashed mid-afternoon, and at post time was being transported to a local hospital for X-rays.

He was initially diagnosed as having a broken collarbone in the infield medical center at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
